#1 or Winter Blended Diesel fuel

Most if not all Town Pumps in Montana offer that. I’m not sure where your located though.

 

Depends on the supplier.... I haul fuel in the winter and I don’t trust anyone......


That should tell you something.....

 

The ditz behind the counter isn't going to know. Generally is is treated to conditions in the market it is sold. Buy fuel in Alabama and you are going to have trouble in Indiana.
The major chains are the best bet, they have very large customers who are going to be unhappy if their fuel causes operational problems.

 

K&h in gilman Illinois does a great job of treating their fuel. They post the test results on the entrance door. Last year when the polar vortex had actual air temps in the -20 range. They switched over to blended #1 testing down into -40 range. Everyone one else had frozen pumps. Never had any problems with their fuel.

 

Just get some anti-gel, not many places sell #1 anymore unless it's like Montana some place that get really cold. Add anti-gell and idle the truck all night if it starts to get in the teens or lower

 

I would get anti-gell first or idle the engine all night if in the teens at night. Once it gets to single digits I would definitely run anti-gell and idle engine all night. Not even look for #1 just because it so hard to find and it was never cheap not sure what it sells for today.

 

Town Pump locations in MT sell it for around $.60-.70 more per gallon.

 

I don't know your running area, but from what I've seen, Kwik Trip (Kwik Star in IA) sell #1, as do several Cenex stops. I don't have a list, but I've seen them in SD, MN, and ND. I'm just about positive Town Pumps throughout MT sell it, too.
